- Lot Description
Lot of 3 CDVs, each credited to Whitney's Gallery, St. Paul, MN, ca 1860s. Subjects include "Standing Buffalo," a Sisseton Sioux Chief known for discouraging his fellow Sioux from war with whites while also eschewing life on reservation lands. Rather than submit to either side he wanted only to follow the buffalo herds as his ancestors had, but upon finding the herds decimated and his tribe torn apart by conflict and disease, he committed suicide in Montana in 1875; "Wah Bo Jeeg (White Fisher) Chief Gull Lake Band Chippewas. An old warrior once taken prisoner by the Sioux and speaks the language," as printed below image; and an outdoor "View in the Delles of the St. Croix," as titled below image.
The new state of Minnesota was home to thousands of American Indians in 1862, many of whom were disenchanted with the government's promise for annuities. In August of that year, a number of the Dakota were starving; on the 18th, Indians at the Lower Agency attacked the white settlers there. Over the next few weeks hundreds of whites were killed, until the uprising was finally put down by Federal troops under the command of Henry Sibley. Whitney photographed a number of the Native American principals involved with the uprising.
Standing Buffalo in very good condition, with some light toning, mount with rounded corners, edges slightly trimmed. Wah Bo Jeeg with heavier toning, mount with rounded corners, edges appear to have been slightly trimmed. View of Delles with light toning, light soiling, corners clipped and edges may have been slightly trimmed.Condition
